Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power equipment maintenance, and specifically to a method and device for improving the performance of impedance relays. Background Art

[0002] When an electrical fault occurs in a transmission line, the primary goal is to ensure the stability of the network. Developing a protection system that is both fast and highly reliable must meet these basic requirements. Distance protection relays are specifically designed to detect faults occurring in high-voltage transmission lines and locate the faults. The distance relay continuously calculates the line impedance by measuring the voltage measurement value and current measurement value obtained from the transformer. This type of relay relies on the impedance percentage and can locate the fault and clear the fault in a timely manner.

[0003] When an electrical fault occurs on the line, an arc is generated, and its resistance affects the fault location and may cause improper operation of the distance relay. Currently, the most widely used method for locating the fault position of an overhead line is to determine the apparent reactance of the line during the flow of fault current and convert the ohmic result to distance based on the line parameters. It is generally recognized that this method introduces errors when the fault resistance is high and the line is powered from both ends.

[0004] Currently, distance protection calculates the fault impedance by using the voltage and current at the relay installation location. The recorded fault impedance is compared with the known line impedance. If the recorded fault impedance is less than the predetermined line impedance, the fault is identified and a trip signal is sent to the circuit breaker. In its most basic form, distance protection only relies on measuring voltage and current without supplementary information or external devices.

[0005] However, due to measurement errors, transformer errors (CT, PT), and changes in line impedance, it is actually impossible to achieve 100% distance protection accuracy for the entire line length. Therefore, a safety margin of 10% to 15% is established from the line end, called the reach-down zone (also known as the first zone), to ensure the protection selectivity for internal and external faults.

[0006] The remaining line portion belongs to the over-reach zone (also known as the second zone). To maintain selectivity, a time delay needs to be set corresponding to the adjacent protection scheme. In electromagnetic protection, this time delay is usually between 400 - 500 milliseconds, while analog static and digital protection systems achieve a delay of 250 - 300 milliseconds. This delay includes the operating time of the circuit breaker, the response time of the distance measurement element, and the safety margin.

[0007] Different from differential protection, which achieves complete selectivity by considering the positions of current transformers at both ends of a line, basic distance protection (without communication enhancement) does not provide complete selectivity and achieves selective tripping through coordination with the time delays of adjacent protection schemes. Nevertheless, distance protection can be used as a backup protection for adjacent lines, using the second stage (overreach stage), which extends to adjacent buses and a part of adjacent lines. There is also a third stage, which is usually deployed to protect the entire length of adjacent lines. The arrangement of these stages and their time settings are determined using a time-distance diagram.

[0008] Traditional ground distance relay schemes face challenges in dealing with various types of ground faults, such as single-phase ground and double-phase ground faults. These challenges are exacerbated by significant fault resistance.

[0075] From Figure 1 the shown process, it can be seen that the present application provides an impedance relay performance improvement method. When a ground fault occurs in the power grid, an arc model is constructed according to the dynamic characteristics of the fault arc; the fault impedance is calculated according to the ground fault type of the fault arc, the electrical parameters at the phase source after the fault, and the arc model; the action threshold value for performing the open circuit processing is determined according to the arc model; distance protection is performed on the power grid by the impedance relay according to the action threshold value and the fault impedance, so as to improve the accuracy of the impedance relay in sensing and calculating the fault impedance, improve the modeling and estimation accuracy of the arc resistance, and highlight the importance of the impedance relay in detecting and locating faults in high-voltage power networks.

[0076] Each step will be explained in detail below.

[0077] S101: When a grounding fault occurs in the power grid, an arc model is constructed according to the dynamic characteristics of the fault arc;

[0078] Specifically, when a grounding fault occurs, by real-time monitoring the dynamic characteristics of the arc, the server uses the differential equation of arc conductivity to describe the evolution of arc conductivity, differentiating the main arc stage (the arc length and time constant are basically constant) in the initial stage of the fault and the secondary arc stage (the arc length linearly increases with time and the time constant gradually decreases) during the continuous fault, thereby constructing a model that reflects the change characteristics of the arc additional impedance.

[0079] Figure 2 It is a schematic flowchart of a method for improving the performance of an impedance relay provided by an embodiment of the present application. The arc model includes a main arc model and a secondary arc model; as Figure 2 shown, S101 includes:

[0080] S201: Determine the main arc model according to the characteristic arc voltage gradient, total characteristic arc resistance and instantaneous arc length when a grounding fault occurs in the power grid;

[0081] Specifically, the fault arc can be regarded as a resistive element connecting the faulty transmission line to the ground. The simplest arc model can be represented as the short-circuit resistance between the transmission line and the ground. However, since the arc continuously and non-linearly extends during its existence, the arc exhibits a non-linearly increasing resistance value. This means that the arc voltage also exhibits a non-linearly increasing trend during the existence of the arc.

[0082] The server applies the extended theory of switching arcs to simulate the unrestricted fault arcs in the air. Both the main arc and the secondary arc are described using the differential equation of arc conduction.

[0083]

[0084] Among them, G represents the static arc conductivity, g represents the arc conductivity varying with time, and τ represents the time parameter (time constant) of the arc.

[0085] The static arc conductivity is the arc conductivity when the arc current remains constant for a long enough time under unchanged external conditions. Therefore, the static arc conductivity G is expressed as follows:

[0086]

[0087] u st (i, l) = (|u0 + r0|) · l arc (t) (3)

[0088]

[0089] Among them, u stis the static arc voltage, representing the arc voltage gradient. u represents the total characteristic arc voltage, measured in volts (V), while r represents the total characteristic arc resistance, in milliohms (mΩ). u0 represents the characteristic arc voltage per unit arc length, measured in volts per centimeter (V / cm), and r0 represents the characteristic arc resistance per unit arc length, in milliohms per centimeter (mΩ / cm). l arc represents the instantaneous arc length, in centimeters (cm), and l0 is the initial length of the arc column, usually referred to as the main arc length, also in centimeters (cm).

[0090] In the main arc model, the arc length l arc and the time parameter τ are relatively constant. In this case, the arc length is represented by the gap length (l0) of the arc angle, and the characteristic arc voltage gradient u0 and the arc resistance per unit length r0 at this time are given by formulas (5) and (6). Therefore, the static arc voltage u st of the main arc is:

[0091] u st = (|u0 + r0|) · l0 (7)

[0092] Based on the static arc voltage u st of the main arc, the arc conductivity in the static state can be obtained:

[0093]

[0094] In the main arc model, since l arc and the time constant τ both remain unchanged (τ depends on the initial conditions), the entire arc is equivalent to a fixed-parameter model. This model describes the conductive characteristics when the arc current reaches a steady state at the initial stage of the fault.

[0095] In one embodiment, the equivalent circuit diagram of the arc fault is as Figure 12 shown.

[0096] S202: Determine the secondary arc model according to the arc elongation speed, initial time constant, and time constant decline speed when a grounding fault occurs in the power grid.

[0097] Specifically, during the fault duration, that is, in the secondary arc current, the arc will elongate, and the arc length and time parameter will change dynamically with time, as follows:

[0098] l arc = (v l · t + 1) · l0 (9)

[0099] τ = τ0 - v τ (l arc - l0) (10)

[0100] wherein, v l is the arc elongation speed, expressed in centimeters per millisecond (cm / ms), τ0 is the initial time constant, expressed in milliseconds (ms), and v τ is the time constant decrease speed, expressed in milliseconds per centimeter (ms / cm).

[0101] According to the above formula, the arc length exhibits a linear growth pattern at the beginning of the secondary arc stage. On the contrary, the time constant is inversely proportional to the arc length. As the arc elongates, the time constant of the arc decreases, thereby affecting the evolution of the arc conductivity.

[0102] The secondary arc stage still follows the differential equation, but at this time the static arc conductivity G is not a constant, but changes with l arc as follows:

[0103]

[0104] As l arc (t) increases, u st (t) also increases accordingly, resulting in a corresponding change in G(t).

[0105] S102: Calculate the fault impedance according to the grounding fault type of the fault arc, the electrical parameters at the phase source after the fault, and the arc model;

[0106] Specifically, based on the constructed arc model, the server combines the grounding fault type corresponding to the fault arc and the electrical parameters measured at the phase source after the fault, and uses a modified impedance calculation formula for calculation. The arc model provides compensation information for the arc additional impedance, making the calculated fault impedance closer to the actual line impedance, thereby more accurately reflecting the location of the fault point.

[0107] Figure 3 is a schematic flowchart of a method for improving the performance of an impedance relay provided by an embodiment of the present application. The grounding fault type includes single-phase grounding fault; the electrical parameters include the current at the phase source after the fault, the voltage at the phase source after the fault, and the grounding coefficient; as Figure 3 shown, S102 includes:

[0108] S301: Generate an arc additional impedance according to the arc model;

[0109] Specifically, the server obtains the arc conductivity according to the arc model and generates an arc additional impedance. The arc additional impedance is expressed as follows:

[0110]

[0111] S302: Calculate the first fault current based on the grounding coefficient and the current at the phase source after the fault;

[0112] Specifically, when the grounding fault type includes single-phase grounding fault, for a single-phase fault in phase 'a', the single-phase fault current can be expressed as:

[0113] I K1 = I Ka + K0·I r (13)

[0114] where, I Ka represents the current of the fault phase (phase A); K0 represents the grounding coefficient; I r represents the residual current, which is equal to the sum of the three-phase currents:

[0115] I r = l Ka + l Kb + l Kc (14)

[0116] S303: Calculate the fault impedance when the single-phase grounding fault occurs based on the first fault current, the voltage at the phase source after the fault, and the arc additional impedance.

[0117] Specifically, since the fault arc introduces additional impedance in the fault loop, it will reduce the measured fault current, resulting in a higher apparent fault impedance calculated by the traditional method. Therefore, the arc additional impedance is used as a correction term for compensation. Subtract the arc additional impedance Z arc (t) from the apparent fault impedance to obtain the corrected fault impedance:

[0118]

[0119] where, U K1 is the voltage at the phase source after the single-phase fault:

[0120] U K1 = V Ka (16)

[0121] Figure 4 is a schematic flow diagram of a method for improving the performance of an impedance relay provided by an embodiment of the present application. The grounding fault type includes double-phase grounding fault; the electrical parameters include the current at the phase source after the fault and the voltage at the phase source after the fault; as Figure 4 shown, S102 includes:

[0122] S401: Generate the arc additional impedance according to the arc model;

[0123] Specifically, the server obtains the arc conductivity based on the arc model and generates an arc additional impedance, and the arc additional impedance is expressed as follows:

[0124]

[0125] S402: Calculate a second fault current according to the current at the phase source after the fault;

[0126] Specifically, when the grounding fault type includes a double-phase grounding fault, for the double-phase grounding fault in phase 'a-b-g', the double-phase fault current can be expressed as:

[0127] I K2 =I Ka -I Kb (17)

[0128] Wherein, I Ka and I Kb represent the currents of the fault phases.

[0129] S403: Calculate the fault impedance when the double-phase grounding fault occurs according to the second fault current, the voltage at the phase source after the fault, and the arc additional impedance.

[0130] Specifically, since the fault arc introduces an additional impedance in the fault loop, it will reduce the measured fault current, resulting in a higher apparent fault impedance calculated conventionally. Therefore, the arc additional impedance is used as a correction term for compensation. Subtracting the arc additional impedance Z arc (t) from the apparent fault impedance to obtain the corrected fault impedance:

[0131]

[0132] Wherein, U K is the voltage at the phase source after the double-phase fault:

[0133] U K2 =V Ka -V Kb (19)

[0134] S103: Determine the action threshold value for performing the open-circuit processing according to the arc model;

[0135] Specifically, the server dynamically adjusts the action threshold value of the relay for open-circuit processing by using the arc additional impedance information extracted from the arc model. By compensating and matching the initial threshold value with the arc additional impedance, it is ensured that when the relay operates, it can effectively filter the errors caused by the arc effect and accurately respond to the real fault impedance, thereby improving the selectivity and reliability of the protection.

[0136] Figure 5It is a schematic flowchart of a method for improving the performance of an impedance relay provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 5 shown, S103 includes:

[0137] S501: Obtain an initial operating threshold based on the dynamic characteristics of the arc;

[0138] Specifically, in order to ensure that the impedance relay can operate correctly under different fault scenarios, the circuit breaker handling threshold of the relay also needs to be dynamically adjusted according to the arc additional impedance. The server pre-determines the initial operating threshold of the relay as Z0 based on system design or historical data.

[0139] S502: Adjust the initial operating threshold according to the arc model to obtain the operating threshold for the impedance relay to perform circuit breaker handling.

[0140] Specifically, the main arc model adds an operating threshold based on the fault impedance, that is, it reduces the misoperation of the impedance relay caused by the fault arc, making the distance calculation value of the fault line more accurate. The fault impedance needs to fall within the operating impedance circle to operate; however, in the calculation of the fault impedance, due to the influence of the arc resistance, a fault that should operate but actually does not operate, resulting in an error.

[0141] Therefore, considering the main arc model, the impedance operating circle is corrected, the influence of the arc resistance is added to the operating threshold of the impedance relay, and in combination with the arc model, the initial threshold is adjusted to include the compensation of the arc additional impedance to obtain the corrected operating threshold Z:

[0142] Z = Z0 + Z arc (t) (20)

[0143] S104: Make the impedance relay perform distance protection on the power grid according to the operating threshold and the fault impedance.

[0144] Specifically, the server compares the fault impedance corrected by the arc model with the adjusted operating threshold. When the corrected fault impedance is lower than the operating threshold, that is, Z′ F < Z, the impedance relay triggers circuit breaker handling to achieve distance protection of the power grid, ensuring that when a fault occurs, the impedance relay can quickly and accurately perform protection actions based on the actual fault distance.

[0145] In one embodiment, based on the power system simulation model, a high-voltage doubly-fed transmission network was constructed using a simulation tool. The network contains two interconnected lines. The line to be protected is connected to the adjacent line, and the line length and parameters are set according to the typical high-voltage transmission system. Three protection zones were defined in the simulation: Zone 1 covers the main part of the main line; Zone 2 covers the entire main line and a partial range of the adjacent line; Zone 3 covers the entire main line and a larger range of the adjacent line. Single-phase and two-phase ground faults were applied at different positions inside and outside the protection zones, including: the proximal and middle sections of the main line in Zone 1; the end of the main line and the starting section of the adjacent line in Zone 2; the middle section of the adjacent line in Zone 3.

[0146] The positive and zero-sequence parameters (including resistance, reactance, and capacitance) of the transmission line were set according to the industry standard model. Two arc models were introduced in the simulation to represent fault arcs with different dynamic characteristics, and their key parameters cover arc length, initial voltage, resistance characteristics, and time constant, etc. The simulation considered the influence of different ground resistance conditions and assumed that the arc length remained stable within a certain range.

[0147] To optimize the operating characteristics of the relay, an adjustment strategy for the operating impedance circle was introduced. According to the line impedance distribution and arc fault characteristics, the impedance circle boundary of each protection zone was dynamically adjusted to ensure that the coverage range of the operating group matches the actual fault location more accurately in the case of high-resistance faults or complex arc scenarios. A dynamic change model of arc resistance was incorporated into the impedance circle decision logic. By real-time correcting the calculated value of the apparent impedance, the operating delay or misjudgment caused by the non-linear characteristics of the arc was reduced. Through the overlapping design of impedance circles between regions, the coordination between the main protection and the backup protection was enhanced, and the cascaded misoperation of the protection logic was avoided when a single region fails.

[0148] Compare the responses of the relay under different fault scenarios. In the case of a single-phase fault, the increase in arc parameters (such as resistance and voltage) will cause a significant increase in the fault impedance calculated by the relay, and the farther the fault point is from the power source, the more obvious the influence of the linear impedance. The operating impedance circle strategy effectively suppresses the impedance drift under high-resistance faults, making the judgment of the relay at the zone boundary more accurate. The high ground resistance further restricts the fault current, but through the dynamic adjustment of the anti-circle logic, the error amplitude is significantly reduced. In the case of a two-phase ground fault, the influence of arc parameters on the fault impedance still dominates, but the role of the ground resistance is smaller because the shunt current is lower. The multi-region cooperation mechanism of the operating impedance circle successfully avoids the protection blind zone during cross-region faults and improves the overall operating reliability. Although the fault resistance value is lower than that of the single-phase fault, through the dynamic correction of the impedance circle, the distance estimation deviation is still controlled within a reasonable range.

[0149] In one embodiment, the schematic diagram of the change from the old operating impedance circle to the new operating impedance circle is as Figure 13 shown.

[0150] The simulation results show that the dynamic characteristics of the arc and the distribution of line impedance have a significant impact on the performance of the relay. Through the logical optimization of the operating impedance circle, the positioning accuracy and operating reliability of the relay can be significantly improved in complex fault scenarios. Dynamically adjust the impedance circle boundary to adapt to different arc parameters and grounding conditions; enhance the robustness of the protection system through multi-region collaborative design; combine the real-time correction of the arc model to reduce the interference of non-linear characteristics on the determination. It provides theoretical support for optimizing the protection algorithm and verifies the applicability of the model under different fault types and locations.

[0151] As can be seen from the above description, the method for improving the performance of the impedance relay provided in this application constructs an arc model according to the dynamic characteristics of the fault arc when a grounding fault occurs in the power grid; calculates the fault impedance according to the grounding fault type of the fault arc, the electrical parameters at the phase source after the fault, and the arc model; determines the action threshold for performing the open-circuit process according to the arc model; and enables the impedance relay to perform distance protection on the power grid according to the action threshold and the fault impedance, achieving the improvement of the accuracy of the impedance relay in sensing and calculating the fault impedance, improving the modeling and estimation accuracy of the arc resistance, and highlighting the importance of the impedance relay in detecting and locating faults in high-voltage power networks. In addition, this application simulates two types of faults and calculates the arc resistance, providing valuable technical basis for the performance of the impedance relay under different configurations. Based on the above technical basis, the high-voltage power network can be better protected from the threat of fault arcs.

[0152] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of this application also provides an apparatus for improving the performance of an impedance relay, which can be used to implement the method described in the above embodiment, as described in the following embodiment. Since the principle of the apparatus for improving the performance of the impedance relay to solve the problem is similar to that of the method for improving the performance of the impedance relay, the implementation of the apparatus for improving the performance of the impedance relay can refer to the implementation of the method for determining the software performance benchmark, and the repeated parts will not be described again. As used hereinafter, the term "unit" or "module" can be a combination of software and / or hardware that can achieve a predetermined function.

[0153] Figure 6 is a schematic structural diagram of an apparatus for improving the performance of an impedance relay provided by an embodiment of this application, as Figure 6 shown, the apparatus includes:

[0154] An arc model construction unit 601, configured to construct an arc model according to the dynamic characteristics of the fault arc when a grounding fault occurs in the power grid;

[0155] Specifically, when a ground fault occurs, by real-time monitoring the dynamic characteristics of the arc, the arc model construction unit 601 uses the arc conductivity differential equation to describe the evolution of arc conductivity, differentiates the main arc stage in the initial stage of the fault (where the arc length and time constant are basically constant) and the secondary arc stage during the continuous period of the fault (where the arc length linearly increases with time and the time constant gradually decreases), thereby constructing a model that reflects the change characteristics of the arc additional impedance.

[0156] The fault impedance calculation unit 602 is configured to calculate the fault impedance according to the ground fault type of the fault arc, the electrical parameters at the phase source after the fault, and the arc model.

[0157] Specifically, based on the constructed arc model, the fault impedance calculation unit 602 combines the ground fault type corresponding to the fault arc and the electrical parameters measured at the phase source after the fault, and uses a modified impedance calculation formula for calculation. The arc model provides compensation information for the arc additional impedance, making the calculated fault impedance closer to the actual line impedance, thereby more accurately reflecting the location of the fault point.

[0158] The action threshold determination unit 603 is configured to determine the action threshold value for performing the open circuit process according to the arc model.

[0159] Specifically, the action threshold determination unit 603 dynamically adjusts the action threshold value of the relay's open circuit process by using the arc additional impedance information extracted from the arc model. By compensating and matching the initial threshold value with the arc additional impedance, it ensures that when the relay operates, it can effectively filter the errors caused by the arc effect and accurately respond to the real fault impedance, thereby improving the selectivity and reliability of the protection.

[0160] The distance protection execution unit 604 is configured to perform distance protection on the power grid by the impedance relay according to the action threshold value and the fault impedance.

[0161] Specifically, the distance protection execution unit 604 compares the fault impedance corrected by the arc model with the adjusted action threshold value. When the corrected fault impedance is lower than the action threshold value, that is, Z′ F <Z, the impedance relay triggers the open circuit process to achieve distance protection of the power grid, ensuring that when a fault occurs, the impedance relay can quickly and accurately perform protection actions based on the actual fault distance.
